It's nice to see all of the Corvette owners in here.    I've owned four of them so far (2003 Z06, 2006 Z51 Coupe, 2008 Z06 2LZ, 2010 ZR1 3ZR).   I sold my 2010 at the beginning of the year because I needed to shift to other gears for a bit (pun intended  :lol:).   But, I have my eyes on a 2026 Z06 convertible.    :thumb:

Gone, but not forgotten:

Congrats, those cars are fast!

I'm salivating over the new ZO6, I can't spend the cash now but I'll own one some day.

Nice pic!

I know it's a Vette thread but here's one of my Camaro with some new wheels and tires, running 305/30/19 front and back.

Have you guys checked out the new Z06 Chevy just previewed ?  Its powered by a naturally aspirated 5.5L DOHC V-8 with a flat plain crank called the LT6.  It makes 670 HP at 8600 rpm and 460 ft-lb of torque at 6300 rpm.  This thing is an absolute "spinner" that would work great in a Can-Am race car.  Unbelievable Magnum Opus of the small-block Chevy V-8.

I'm on my dealer's "list" for an allocation, but it could literally be years before I'd get one.  People have been lining up to buy the C8 Stingray and the C8 Z06 for a long time and Bowling Green can't keep up with the demand.

Yep.   I sold my 2010 ZR1 specifically to prepare the garage and the savings account for a 2025/2026 Z06.   I was very pleased to see the reveal.    :thumb:

Yup!, It's got the GMPP autox tune for the rear diff, ZL1 1LE solid rear subframe bushings and Apex 19x11 wheels with 305 RE71s. For next year I'll add camber plates and rear toe links so I can get a more ideal alignment, maybe do a couple of national level events.

Sidepipe on a C2 never gets old.

I will never forget my first 427 C2 experience at gas station in the late 70's.  What a sound.

OK, Guys, here is a bucket list suggestion - Ron Fellows Performance Driving School at Spring Mountain Ranch in scenic Pahrump, NV.  Most fun you can have with your clothes on, LOL !

Well worth the tuition and time if you can afford it.  The instructors are ALL professional hot shoes and they are great educators.  You spend most of the first day on the skidpad and the second day on the track.  These guys can drive freaking fast.  Like Dramamine fast, LOL ! 

They have very nice condos you stay in and the Clubhouse has Buffets for breakfast and lunch, and open-bar and table service for dinner. 

Pahrump is about 70 mile or ! 1 & 1/2 hours form the Las Vegas Harry Reid airport on NV-160.
